“Are you starting a joke?”
LOL. Interesting song. What do you suppose it’s about?
“I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didnt see that the joke was on me, oh no.
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.
til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was one me.”
I was a fan of the Bee Gees way before they were cool. The first 45 I bought by them was called ‘New York Mining Disaster 1941’. I’m pretty sure I still have it up in the attic somewhere. Personally, I preferred the pre-disco Bee Gees to the disco era, although ‘How Deep Is your Love’ is a masterpiece.
My all-time favorite is probably ‘How Can You Mend A Broken Heart’.
